Group A Prediction
1.
2.
3.
A tough group with an early morning start for these 3 teams and one will have to go. I can't look past Dignitas for the group winners and it will be a tough start on LAN for
Zenith as he replaces PlaZma. The key match will be between Ocrana and Insidiae and its a hard one to call. Ocrana are an upcomming team and might well have it in them to put Insidiae out of the tournament.
Group B Prediction

While
Vanner may well claim "If we lose to h2k I will quit gaming." he may well have to prepare himself. H2K Gaming are in top form at the moment, love them or hate them for the ClanBase EuroCup debacle you can not deny they are performing well. Finalists at Acer Challenge and then winning the recent iPower 08 and another French LAN last weekend they will surely top the group. Infused should grab 2nd spot without too many problems though sending them to the 2nd group stage.
Group C Prediction
1.

3.
The hosts have a pretty tough group but with no doubt plenty of home support they should see themselves to topping the group. Revolution may well have won the first Live2Win season but couldn't pass the group stages this year. Meanwhile the french team ZelLion are growing in confidence picking up some good results at the recent French LANs. However with no ping differences I believe the hungarians should get 2nd place.
Group D Prediction
1.
2.
3.
This should be an easy one for LowLandLions to top but once again 2nd place is tough to call. I've gone for the Italians though as they have the experience over Messrs. Just like the other 3 team groups it will be damage limitation against LowLandLions and a fight to the death against each other.
Group E Prediction
1.
2.
3.
Despite the many short commings of MYM's rocky few months I have confidence they will bring it together for this event. There is a lot of pressure on them though after grabbing 2nd at CDC4 and I33 they feel they must win one of these big events. They should top the group but it certainly will not be easy. Serious Gaming performed well at Acer Challenge and are practising like crazy judging by the amount of spam from supreme however I think it will be the Turkish side that will claim 2nd place in the group.
Group F Prediction

Evil Geniuses are the team to beat in North America right now and should have no problems at all topping this group. UF Gaming should also have no problems taking 2nd place, they are bootcamping at Wzzrd, Enschede before the event and there match vs EG will be one to watch.
Group G Prediction

This group has for me one of the tournament favourites eSuba. They will top this group with relative ease and yet again its 2nd place thats hard to pick. I've gone with the greeks SP-Gaming as there doing well online and may just be able to transfer them skills to LAN. FatGames will be the ones they have to watch out for though so its not going to be easy.
Group H Prediction
1.
2.
3.
The iPower 08 finalists and Acer Challenge winners KomaCrew should top this group, they've proved they can handle the pressure at a LAN. The 2nd place is not so clean cut and only going off results have I placed redLine ahead of Four-Kings. 4k have never been strong in CoD4 yet so for me they will have to prove this isn't just an all expenses paid holiday to Belgium.
Group I Prediction
1.
2.
3.
This is the group many will be looking at, can Speed-Link emulate on LAN what they can do online winning the EMS II and ESL Summer Cup in the same night. The weekend before they performed terribly at iPower 08 losing 13-3 to the Belgium mix team of TEK9/LowLandLions. Reason Gaming on the other hand have proved themselves worthy at lans and it is them that I think will grab the top place with Speed-Link second with the hungarians coming 3rd.
Group J Prediction

Pandemic should have little trouble topping this group with ancients likely contenders for 2nd.
Group K Prediction

3.
Tough call this one and really could be either team finishing first. I've not been able to see either perform for sometime in events for a while now and I seem to make Ravens lose when I do :) For this reason I think SK Gaming should top the group with Ravens finishing 2nd.
Group L Prediction

Another easy one to call for first place with Fnatic but second place I've given to the spaniards K1ck. I don't really know enough about PGS though but they've not been around the final stages of any big online tournament before though.
